Always been a city gal with a country heart. Always driving people nuts listening to my country CDs. So really, its old news the charms of rural life draw me like lemons to mason jars. When I get away from the city, I always head to the country.
Now how often have we heard, “The devil made me do it?” Uh-huh. Well, I’m going to just blame my recklessness on this author. O.k., maybe not her exactly, but her writing. I shouldn’t be blamed simply because the Spikes & Spurs Series spoke to my heart. Well…perhaps I’ll own up a little to being plumb-dumb for listening. Guess I should’ve covered my ears when it spoke. Had I done that though, I wouldn’t’ve had any fun.
During my latest get-away, I found myself getting close and personal with the wildlife, riding a mechanical bull (Yes, I stayed on for 8 seconds!), and buying new boots which I kicked-up and raised hell with.

I was B-A-D! But, if those kindly folk feel the need to gossip when I’m gone, that’s all-right. Wait `till next time! I’ll give `em more to add to their gossip files.

lol! I’ve always wanted to ride a mechanical bull. My husband is a big country music fan too! I’m not so much, but there is some I do like.
Don’t think I would like that particular experience.
Country is all I listen to!
Hi Sharon,
I’ve ALWAYS wanted to ride a mechanical bull! I’m so happy the opportunity presented itself.
Hi Estella,
You’d be surprised. It’s alot of fun. I kept laughing the faster it went. The operator tried to throw me off. So, the more I laughed. I love country music, too.
I’ve never ridden a mechanical bull. I’ve seen others ride them but because I was wearing ahem a dress I chose not to do it. lol
You look like you’re having a ball and I love those boots! Super sexy!
Yeah, but where’s the hunky guy who’s supposed to be riding it with you? You know, to hold onto you, protect you, cushion you…That’s what I want to know!
Looks like fun and thanks for sharing, Susan!
Hey Keira,
Yes, I see your point regarding the dress. Actually, I think my red ones are beautiful. Now those I consider sexy.
Hi Terry,
The guy who’s supposed to be riding with me, rode it before me and “fell.” Lol. That would be the hubby.
Susan,
WHAT FUN!!!
Next year you ride the bull in a bikini with a beer in the hand you hold up. If you drink it all before the ride is over then the house owes you big time! LOL
I’m so glad that you had a good time and darlin’ them boots are plumb spicy. Betcha you could kick up a line dance real good in those!
AND THANK YOU for the mention of my Spikes and Spurs. You are the bestest!
Hi Carolyn,
There is no way, I’d be able to keep the beer from spilling, unless I drink it before riding. In a bikini you say? I’d clear out the place quicker than you could say why’d? what?
It’s so funny because I walked up to the bull and I asked the nice gentleman operator o.k., how do I get up on this thing? (Belly laugh) He’s like you got 2 choices. Just climb up, or use my knee. Now don’t get ahead of yourself, Carolyn. I was there with the family, lol. Because I don’t have the upper arm strength to just climb up alone, I had to step on the man’s knee. Poor thing-probably had to ice it down that night. Lol.
OMGosh bikini and beer on a mechanical bull – is that even possible to pull off without spilling all over yourself? LOL!
Maybe it is. I imagine one would have to be a veteran rider and the beer would have to be more than half gone. The likelihood would increase if the bull goes slow.
It’d be funny though with a full mug of beer while it goes fast. Slosh! Slosh!
